I had a very specific idea of how I wanted the room to look: I wanted to bring that cool and calm Scandinavian feel to the bedroom.... and once I got started the transformation process was actually quite quick....

In fact the bedroom has been more or less finished for months!

The hold up with this reveal was mainly the installation of the fitted wardrobes, that I designed to look as though they'd been here since the house was first built.... A friend of ours made them for us quite cheaply, and I am really pleased with how they turned out!

When I worked in the film industry, we used to say:

"You can get things made quick and cheap, but it'll be rubbish....or you can get things done quick and good, but it'll cost you...I guess this was a case of: You can get good things done cheaply, but it will take time!!"

The wardrobe and chest of drawers was finally installed last week!!

Whilst I was waiting (and waiting, and waiting....) for the wardrobes to be made, I busied myself with some other DIY's for the room...

I also mounted a copper wire basket onto the wall beside the bed to keep books and my phone in at night, as there was limited space for a bedside cabinet since we cut back the wall behind the bed to make more space for the chest of drawers

The little magazine rack/sidetable is a recent make that I will share with you all in my next post

Cutting back this wall has made the space in the corner more accessible and lovely:

I mounted some IKEA honefoss mirrors on the wall, as I loved how they not just tapped into the geometric style that I love, but also the copper!

Here's another late addition to the room, a piece of driftwood mounted on the wall for hanging necklaces from...

I love the little nook next to the bed!!

The artwork above the bed is the "batcat" from Lovedales studio and a limited edition Plakat from Sirlig....and I adore them both!!

We put up wood panelling on the wall behind the bed, to get that Scandinavian feel I long for!

I also have to mention the Linen bedding from H&M, a luxurious but inexpensive treat!! And it matches my Linen curtains, also from H&M....both the perfect color match for my gray walls!!

The geometric sheer voiles and the lightchain are both from Ellos, and unfortunately not yet available here in the UK (thanks mum!!)

Congratulations! I love the new look of the room. I have accidently landed on your site while I was looking for a painting woodfloors section. I am about paiting my living area and your post is a great inspiration in terms of colors. Thank you for sharing this wonderful job.Anne.
